D. B. | Sep 29, 2017
Tracy Hursell | Sep 29, 2017

Yes you can bring your dogs because you sit in your own vehicle to watch the movie. And you can get out and walk your dog near the back rows of the drive in. I actually just park back there anyway because the screen is huge and you tune your radio to a certain channel to hear the audio/ sound of the movie. There is a snack bar that serves nachos, hot dogs, popcorn, soda and candy and ice cream...all kinds of yummy stuff. There is also restrooms too. I always make my own popcorn and anything else we want to eat cuz were in our own car. We back in and lay our seats down open the hatch and lay there with our fuzzies and watch the movies. Love this place.
